Apple removes police tracking app used by protestors in Hong Kong. What a bunch of cowards. GFY Apple. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/10/apple-removes-police-tracking-app-used-in-hong-kong-protests-from-its-app-store.html
Apple also removed Quartz app at the request of China. https://twitter.com/jkeefe/status/1182023843725971457?s=21
Not surprised. Their HK reporter sounds more like one of the activists. https://twitter.com/maryhui
This is why we need a tech workers union
No we don’t
The biggest group in your union would be Chinese workers, what then? They have outsourced their thinking to the PRC and parrot their government’s position on everything claiming that it’s the “people’s will” and in alignment with their personal opinion.
Not getting another iPhone. They made it political first not me.
show me one company that did it differently?
Red Bull
lol, try again. RB lost its trademark in Cn so they can’t do much but b1tch about it. If they had the market or manufactured there the story would be different.
I’m surprised you had high expectations on a huge for profit Corp..all those advertising $ must have made it brainwashing us and convincing they are good
I'm not surprised that Apple would cooperate with the Chinese government, because Apple are heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing.
It's so weird, everyone seems to be really afraid of China. The NBA, Apple, the White House. Wtf it's like living in a parallel universe.
"Muh Chinese markets"
If you truly know the purpose of the app, and you are not biased on the whole situation, then it's not hard to see Apple is making a correct decision here. Otherwise you probably are one of those conditions.
Yes, I am one of those conditions. Mainly freedom with a side of basic human liberty.
It’s not like police tracking is going to fly here as well. Uber got into trouble for our greyball software for police evasion a while back as well.
I’m so done with Apple and Tim Cook. Company has tanked. Not getting another iPhone
